always hated when people buy these for non-utility purposes, it's all marketing and the perceived notion of looking tough. Specially because these big trucks cause more pollution, both smog and noise.
The pentagon and jornos embedded there were always playing the access journalism game all along. Nothing new is happening, this was just the secdef being so thick he asked them to put the punches they'll pull in writing. It should be seen as a union walk-out.
I don't doubt they're doing access journalism, but being part of the press pool wasn't really an element of that it the past. When's the last time a journalist got kicked out of the Pentagon? The access journalism is usually about what happens behind the scenes (e.g. embarrass someone in the Pentagon and you won't be getting off the record statements).
not this way no, black hawk and tactical teams to illegally raid a build with innocent families?, I've never heard of that at this scale, it's pretty obvious they want to create a fictitious situation to convince people there's threat where there isn't any.
What I'm saying is if those people had been the people we generally do this to, as opposed to immigrants, we would have simply dropped a bomb on them instead of dropping tactical teams.
Again, I'm not agreeing with any of these tactics. I'm only saying that these kinds of actions have been normalized over the last 30-40 years, so we've all got to at least consider the possibility of such actions being taken against us if we fall afoul of the law.
yeah? and what are they gonna do when they get to safari, type the website, and accept geo location?. You don't know humans.
you lost me at "if you told them", who's gonna tell them?
Right, the problem is you're assuming immigration agents are following the law. You need to alert people of where they are to protect them. People who are actually here legally are being arrested, waiting for them outside courtrooms. There have been several cases of actual American citizens detained illegally based on racial profiling. There's no proper due process. Additionally, the treatment of those who are detained is very inhumane, using tactics to induce fear.
Enforcement of borders and laws does not need to include grabbing non-violent brown people at random Home Depots, while they are firefighting, while they are legally attending immigration court sessions, etc.
Those are overrated VISAs and they're nabbing then procedurally. The US kinda knows who they are and have just been lenient for the most part, now they're telling them to appear and arresting them when they show.
The other commenter is very clearly talking about ICE driving vans into the parking lot of Home Depot and such, then arresting (groups of) brown folk or people who speak Spanish.
Those are very obviously two entirely separate issues. And the latter is undeniably related to skin-color.
1. Pointing to Irish people being arrested doesn't mean racial profiling isn't happening.
2. You're assuming that all Irish people are white
3. You've seemingly refuted the point above with this article but your haven't in any way down that the current methods of enforcement are necessary in policing the border. Americans are allowed to police the border, criticism of their methods doesn't change this and citizens of a democracy should be allowed to ask these questions.
